Shipping calculated at checkout.

A timeless story is retold with contemporary charm on this beautiful ceramic tile. The Ark of Life journeys through calm seas, carrying its precious, colorful cargo of giraffes, lions, elephants, and more. The vibrant animals stand out in stunning contrast to the classic Dutch blue-and-white style of the boat and waves, creating a fresh and hopeful take on a beloved tale.

Honoring its stylistic roots, each tile is meticulously hand-baked in the Netherlands. The journey from smooth clay to finished art involves a time-honored, three-stage firing process at temperatures soaring up to 1250°C. This ensures the intricate design and lustrous glaze become one with the high-quality ceramic, creating a piece of lasting quality and charm.

As durable as it is heartwarming, this tile is fully resistant to heat, water, and cold. It makes a perfect decorative accent for a nursery or child's room, a hopeful symbol in a kitchen backsplash, or a meaningful gift for any occasion.

STORY

While studying at the Amsterdam School of Arts, Marga van Oers saw a need for unique, accessible art. Her vision for Storytiles truly solidified with a gift from her grandmother: a box of centuries-old Dutch Delftware. These antique tiles, with their charming cracks and storied pasts, became the perfect canvas for her own narrative art.

Marga breathes new life into historic ceramics, creating small tiles that tell a story. While her work is often positive, her most poignant pieces carry deep personal meaning. The ‘Forever’ tile was born from the loss of her mother, depicting a bird looking at a golden star. The design holds a specific meaning for her, yet offers universal comfort and interpretation.

Today, Marga creates from her new farmhouse studio, balancing her growing business with family life. Each Storytile remains a miniature world blending history, imagination, and heartfelt emotion. It is this ability to capture entire stories within a single, beautiful object that makes her work so incredibly special and cherished.
